This is what I did all day.

Ta-da! It'll look better once I install the trim, thus covering strip of black/purple paint peeking through the bottom of the new whitewash, but I'm dead tired.

Next time, though, I'll wear knee pads. Ouch.

I did this all by my lonesome, I might add. Help was offered, but really it's a one person job as you can only lay 1 plank at a time.

Total time: 6 hours
Total cost: $283

P.S.

Oh! Hai! Snake-face!
